Briefly In Business: Design-A-Bag contest

Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market is hosting a Design-A-Bag Contest to encourage customers to use reusable bags.

The company is inviting customers to submit their original bag designs through www.freshandeasy. com/designabag through May 31.

The winning design will be printed on a reusable bag that will be sold at all Fresh & Easy stores.

Customers 18 or older can submit a design. From those submissions, a panel of judges will select 10 semi-finalists based on originality and creativity. The winning bag design will be chosen exclusively by Friends of Fresh & Easy, customers who have signed up online to receive the latest company news and discounts. Semi-finalists will each receive a $100 gift card.

The winning designer will win a year’s worth of groceries.

Glendale’s closest Fresh & Easy location is at 4211 Eagle Rock Blvd., in Eagle Rock.

Loose change benefits garden

Through July 4, Whole Foods in Glendale will have a “Recycle Your Change” bin at the end of every cash register for customers to deposit their loose change. All of the proceeds from this project will benefit Coalition for a Green Glendale to build a second community garden, tentatively called Eco Community Garden West.

Glendale’s Whole Foods location is at 331 N. Glendale Ave.
